Who would have thought this pile of 46% ultimate in back of truck could be resurrected into this:
Engine is a Kroma 180.

OK, it's not JUST a bipe, but there is one bad-ass bipe in the group at least!!

Belongs to a buddy and I got to watch this beauty fly today. Shows well in the air.

Nice job saving that baby from the dump. How long did the resurrection take?

About 3 months, lots of BS CA, had the cowl, canopy and wheel pants painted at a local body shop. The canopy and gear survived, but had to buy new cowl. Covered in metallic blue monokote. accomplished the necessary mods while rebuilding. Has not flown yet. Hardest thing on rebuild was creating custom jigs to assure alignments of everything. One wing was totally smashed, but luckily found another ($50) hanging around a local hobby store.
